Okay so I just had something weird happen to me: I decided to go to my profile page to see if I have any new reviews and there was, in fact, one I hadn't seen before. First thing that made me go "huh?" was the date, which was November 2012. As many of you may remember, I hadn't even considered this business until December of 2012. Second confusing thing was the reviewer's handle, which I didn't recognize. So I click on the review to see what's up and sure enough, I have no idea who this guy is or what he's talking about (plus he said he'd seen me in a city that I haven't been to in probably ten years). Another weird thing is that he seems to have copied a few details from another review on my profile (fairly minor details, but all the more suspicious that it sounds a lot like my most recent legitimate review).
I already reported it to TER using both the "report a problem" link as well as via a feedback form, just so all of my bases are covered but I'm still confused. Why would this dude (who has written a handful of reviews but has no whitelists) write a review for me when I've never seen him? Is this going to reflect badly on me? What kind of action would TER take in a situation like this?
Also, sorry for the novella, I'm just wicked confused.
Yeah I just saw that. That's seriously fucked up.
Yeah, unfortunately it probably happens more that most people realize.
Any chance TER will remove it? I just don't want my name associated with shadesters like that.
That's terrifying. I'm worried that TER is just going to assume that I'm reporting it because I don't like the score (which just isn't the case). It'd be great if they'd ask him to provide emails between he and I to prove that he saw me (he'd have none, of course). I just don't want some other girl to get victimized in some way by this guy because he's writing a bunch of reviews.
Sphinx is probably correct. Asshats do this kind of thing all the time for free VIP. TER will probably take it down. Normally once you contact them to let them know it's fake, they will ask you and the reviewer for info to try to prove it either way. (email communication, details about the location etc.) if he can't prove he saw you, it will get deleted. Unfortunately this does happen to often and it is important for the ladies to stay on top of their reviews.
What's strange is that this idiot, picked a newbie provider with only a couple reviews to write a fake one. So much easier to get caught. It would make more sense (not that I'm trying to give guys ideas here) to review a lady that already has lots of reviews figuring your fake one will be lost in the mix.
From what you say, it should be easy to prove your side.
Good luck with this.

Thank you. That gives me some reassurance. There's no way he'd be able to provide them with emails considering I've never even spoken to this guy. And given my posting history, I'd think it would be fairly easy to see that I did not see anyone in November before I even started providing (let alone in a city that I haven't visited since middle school).
Send a PM to the reviewer, asking him when & where he saw you. Let TER know that you have sent a message to the reviewer, requesting this information. They will also send him a message, asking him details. He has I believe either 48 or 72 hours to respond. If he does not, the review will be removed. In your case, since you were not even working in Nov, & he reviewed you in a city that you are not working in, it should be easy to get removed.
False Reviews have no place in the business.
Tobi, I just read the review you were talking about and i'm going to second what bphunter said. The first part of his review sounds crazy and even has him talking in 3rd person saying we. Huge red flag. Im glad you notified TER because it doesnt need to be there. Have you tried to contact any of the other ladies that so and so has reviewed? PM me honey.
Right? Dude read some of his other reviews. It's disturbing.
And yeah, I PMed the other two supposed Ohio ladies (not gonna bother with the Shanghai girls). We'll see what they have to say.
The info I sent you in the PM should give you a bit of a heads up on this kind of situation.
... that you AND London Rayne posted (or should I say... whined??) about these so-called fake reviews on the SAME day?
Do you ASK every guy that contacts you what his TER handle is?? Really?? Do you?? I doubt it.
What if this guy wasn't even part of TER when he saw you. Oh, did you mention that you had ALREADY been providing BEFORE you even logged onto TER for the first time?? The link of that post is below.
It's possible that the guy that did the November review may be a few weeks off... so fartin' what? Who cares??
Geez... you ladies needs to straighten this shit out BEFORE you start bitching and moaning on the pubic forums. This is a NEWBIE forum... not a "I Want To Fix My Review" forum!!
Take the review issue up with TER management and leave the DRAMA out of the Newbie Forum!

aka "shit for brains stalker" attacks every post by LR and BCG.
Yes, she saw two guys before her first post here. That would have been the week before Dec 18, according to that post. Not November! But the bigger and more obvious issue is the wrong city, you moron!
Besides the review is already gone which means that the reviewer could not confirm seeing her and TER agreed with her that it was fake!
Now will you please go crawl back under your rock and stay off the newbie board.
... about yourself.
Why are YOU on a Newbie forum?? Please do tell us!!

He lives in Ohio but is commenting about NY.
Hilarious.
It is well-known that he tried to out a provider, tried to pay someone else to get her information, and basically stalked this provider.
His info is publicly available on blacklists. Make sure you don't see this asshat. He lives in Ohio, as well...something that is evident from looking at his review history.
